EAI is pleased to participate in The NY Art Book Fair at MoMA PS1, organized by Printed Matter. Visit EAI's booth on the first floor and then descend the stairs to watch a curated screening program of videos from the EAI collection in MoMA PS1's basement vault. At the fair, EAI will also launch a special series of home-use DVDs. Dan Graham's Minor Threat (1983, 38:18 min) and Shana Moulton's Whispering Pines Vol. 1 (2002-2004, 21:37 min), the first in the series, will be available for purchase at EAI's booth at the book fair.

In this raw video document, Dan Graham, an ardent observer of rock subgenres and bands, documents legendary D.C. hardcore band Minor Threat in a 1982 performance at New York's CBGB. Hardcore, as typified by Minor Threat, is seen by Graham as a tribal rite, an explosive catalyst for the violence and frustration of its predominantly male, teenage audience.
